華府的矛盾決策：美國終止緬甸國民臨時保護身分(TPS)，數千人恐被迫返回軍政府統治
美國國土安全部宣布終止對緬甸國民的臨時保護身分(TPS)，聲稱當地局勢已「充分改善」。此舉引發聯合國專家及人權團體強烈批評，認為華府無視軍政府統治下的殘酷現實。
華府的決策，與緬甸的殘酷現實之間，出現了危險的脫節。美國國土安全部（DHS）於11月24日宣布，終止對緬甸國民的「臨時保護身分」（Temporary Protected Status, TPS）。此舉可能迫使數千人返回由軍政府掌控、衝突持續的家園。
國土安全部長 Kristi Noem 聲稱，由於緬甸軍方已宣布結束緊急狀態並計畫舉行選舉，當地情況「已充分改善」，足以安全返回。然而，這項評估與美國政府內外的立場南轅北轍。
自相矛盾的華府立場
就在DHS發布公告的一週前，美國眾議院外交事務委員會才重申，緬甸軍政府計畫的選舉是場「騙局」。此觀點與歐盟及聯合國專家不謀而合。聯合國緬甸人權狀況特別報告員湯姆・安德魯斯更抨擊DHS的說法近乎軍政府的政治宣傳。
事實上，自2021年政變以來，緬甸情勢每況愈下。軍方監禁了民選領袖翁山蘇姬，對平民區進行系統性空襲，並持續大規模逮捕異議人士。政變至今已造成數萬名平民死亡，數百萬人流離失所。這樣的國度，絕非安全之地。
庇護體系的結構性失衡
此項決策也揭示了緬甸流亡社群中一個難堪的現實。在緬甸，真正因政治迫害而身處險境的活動家，往往被列入黑名單而無法取得護照出境。與此同時，部分未涉入政治且有財力者，卻能透過支付超過1萬美元的費用給仲介，以偽造文件取得美國旅遊簽證，入境後再申請庇護。
這種「反向篩選」的荒謬現象，導致最需要保護的人無法逃離，而其他人卻能利用制度漏洞。如今終止TPS，將迫使許多真正受迫害的專業人士進入已不堪負荷的庇護申請系統，他們的合法案件可能因DHS對緬甸局勢的扭曲評估而面臨被駁回的風險。
